Descriptions
Multiple Integer underflows in the geonet_print function in tcpdump 4.5.0 through 4.6.2, when in verbose mode, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted length value in a Geonet frame.
Múltiples subdesbordamientos de enteros en la función geonet_print en tcpdump 4.5.0 hasta 4.6.2, cuando se utiliza el modo verbose, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (fallo de segmentación y caída) a través de un valor de longitud manipulado en un Frame Geonet.

A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
